I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 466 A Branch

Zhang Chen felt that Xie Lingyun should remove the word "ma"!

This is Bai Lu, the leader of the four great disciples of Wuzhuang Temple in the past. Back then, Bai Lu was already at the twelfth level. Now, so many years have passed. To what extent should Bai Lu's cultivation level increase?

Zhang Chen looked at Bai Lu opposite him, his skin tensed as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and golden scissors appeared in his hand, hidden in his sleeve.

Xie Lingyun was also very panicked at this time, because she had never met such a nervous Zhang Chen. You know, Zhang Chen had never shown such a nervous look when facing Zhang Shicheng.

"I remember you!"

Just as Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun were whispering, Bai Lu seemed to recall something. She stared at Zhang Chen with murderous intent in her eyes. She had just finished speaking, and before she could make any further moves, her body suddenly shattered and turned into dust, disappearing between heaven and earth.

"Dead?" Zhang Chen looked at the other party's body that was inexplicably shattered, his eyes full of shock. He couldn't understand why the other party appeared here inexplicably and died inexplicably.

"He is indeed dead. His soul has been scattered and there is not even a trace left." Xie Lingyun nodded with certainty.

Zhang Chen fell silent after hearing this. He couldn't understand why Bai Lu appeared here. Could this place have something to do with Wuzhuang Temple? What happened after the heavenly punishment at Wuzhuang Temple ended?
Zhang Chen stared at the ruins of Wuzhuang Temple. After standing there and looking at it for a long time, he suddenly realized, "Isn't this the Taoist temple of Wuzhuang Temple? It was just because it was broken into pieces, so I didn't recognize it at first. But if you look closely at its layout and orientation, it is exactly the same as the original Wuzhuang Temple."

He had lived in Wuzhuang Temple for more than ten years, so how could he not recognize it?

“But what did Wuzhuang Temple suffer in the past to end up like this?” Zhang Chen’s eyelids twitched wildly as he looked towards the ruins where Bai Lu had crawled out. He remembered that there seemed to be a damaged underground secret room in the ruins.

However, Zhang Chen was not in a hurry to explore. For him, the most important thing was to first explore the source of the green light and look at the flame hanging high on the stone platform.

Zhang Chen looked towards the platform and said to Xie Lingyun, "Follow me!"

The two of them walked towards the platform with the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth under their heads. At this time, Zhang Chen also recognized the origin of the platform. The platform was the cliff where the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation of Wuzhuang Temple was located in the past, and it was also the place where he trapped and killed the Patriarch of Immortality.

If you want to solve the mysteries left over from the ancient times, you must start from the traces left in the ruins.

Zhang Chen led Xie Lingyun all the way to the high platform. After seeing the scene clearly, he could not help but be stunned: "What is that?"

There is a branch about one meter high on the platform. The green lights are emitted from the branch. Above the branch is a black fragment the size of a grain of rice. The fragment emits a dazzling light, like a small sun, illuminating the entire underground world.

"That branch..." Zhang Chen looked at the branch and saw that the branch was absorbing the energy emitted from the fragments above to complete photosynthesis. And that tiny fragment seemed to contain infinite divine power, constantly bursting out with earth-shaking power.

The little sun contained an indescribable domineering power that seemed to be able to burn a person's internal organs and soul to ashes. Even if they were hundreds of meters away, it would force people to stop.

"Such a domineering power, it seems to ignite my internal organs, but fortunately I have the Fire-Proofing Beads. No matter how strong the light is, it can't do anything to my Fire-Proofing Beads." Zhang Chen took out the Fire-Proofing Beads, and sure enough, all the heat was blocked outside the Fire-Proofing Beads. Then Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun walked slowly forward and finally stopped ten meters away.

"This little tree is very strange." Xie Lingyun's eyes fell on the little tree, his eyes full of inquiry.

"This is not a small tree, it's just a branch." Zhang Chen replied.

"A branch?" Xie Lingyun's eyes were full of disbelief. A branch had such incredible power. If the whole tree was intact, what kind of incredible power would it have?
Zhang Chen looked up and down at the branch. The huge knowledge base in his mind began to surge. The knowledge he had acquired from Wuzhuang Temple in the past finally came in handy:
"This is the branch of the towering tree!"

"What is Tongtian Jianmu?" Xie Lingyun had never heard of the name Tongtian Jianmu.

Zhang Chen said: "Tongtian Jianmu is also called the World Tree. It can connect heaven and earth, absorb chaotic energy and transform it into innate vitality. It is the king of trees."

Xie Lingyun's eyes lit up: "In that case, aren't we making a fortune?"

Zhang Chen nodded: "I just don't know if this branch has taken root or not."

However, Zhang Chen had an idea in his mind. He had an Ascension Pool. He wondered if he could transplant the branches of the innate Jianmu tree with the liquid produced in the Ascension Pool. Zhang Chen's eyes moved away from the branches of the towering Jianmu tree and looked at the small sun suspended on the branches of the Jianmu tree. At this time, the small sun burst out with a thousand-foot brilliance, illuminating the entire underground world. Although the light spot was small, it made people dare not look directly at it. Zhang Chen opened his Dharma Eyes, and the golden light in his eyes was directly broken, burning Zhang Chen's eye membrane directly. Fortunately, Zhang Chen's blood control technique had reached the realm of blood and flesh derivatives. At this time, his blood and flesh power was vibrating rapidly, and it was quickly repaired in just a breath.

Zhang Chen repaired his retina, and his eyes were filled with lingering fear: "My righteous golden light has met its nemesis again, it's simply unbelievable. It has always been my righteous golden light that can restrain others, when will it be my turn to be broken?"

Zhang Chen changed his mind. If the God Golden Light's Dharma Eye didn't work, then he would directly mobilize the Devouring Eye. As he opened the Devouring Eye, the golden light was no longer dazzling. In his Devouring Eye, the fragments turned into a ball of fire. There seemed to be a bird flying back and forth in the fire. As the bird flapped its wings, rays of fire scattered out, forming a source of light that illuminated the entire underground world.

However, even Zhang Chen could not figure out the origin of the light for a moment, so he could only retract his Dharma Eyes and think about the opportunity to collect the treasure.

"Zhang Chen, I'll give you the sapling, but I want that light spot." At this moment, Xie Lingyun's hurried voice rang in Zhang Chen's ears. There was uncontrollable excitement in his voice, and his eyes were full of fanaticism.

"Sister, did you recognize the origin of that light?" Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun curiously.

“Do you know that a cultivator of the Spiritual Soul Dao needs to complete the Pure Yang transformation in order to step from the Yin God into the Yang God realm?” Xie Lingyun asked.

Zhang Chen nodded: "I have heard of it."

"There are two ways for a Yin Spirit to transform into a pure Yang. The first is for the Yin Spirit to enter the clouds and be polished and refined by lightning. Eventually, the transformation is completed and a ray of pure Yang energy is born." Xie Lingyun said, "But this method is the most dangerous. If you are not careful, the lightning you attract will be too powerful and your soul will be shattered. The second way is to find a pure Yang object and incorporate it into your soul, which will subtly transform your soul."

"The thing in front of me is a bit of ore from the setting sun, which contains pure Yang energy. If I can refine it into my Yin God, my transformation into a Pure Yang True Person will be just around the corner. Is there anything else in this world that contains purer Yang energy than the sun?" Xie Lingyun's voice was full of fanaticism.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen took a look at the light spot. No wonder it could emit infinite light and even break through the golden light of the God and burn his retina. It turned out that this was the reason.

"It's okay for me to give this item to my sister, but it contains a powerful burning force. Are you sure you can subdue it?" Zhang Chen said.

That is the power of the sun. Even if it is just a little bit, it can burn mountains and boil seas.

There was a hint of curiosity in Zhang Chen's eyes. He didn't know what confidence Xie Lingyun had to say that he could collect the fragments of the sun.

Xie Lingyun smiled when he heard this: "This thing is meant to be with me. If I had come across the sun fragments before Zhang Shicheng's death, I might have only been able to watch helplessly. But after Zhang Shicheng's death, I got a little dragon ball from him. After I refined the dragon ball, the transformation of the Yin God has reached a critical point. Combined with a certain secret method I obtained in the past, I can try to collect this thing. But I still need to borrow your fire-proof bead. Your fire-proof bead is the basis for me to refine this thing."

Zhang Chen stepped aside upon hearing this and gave the main seat to Xie Lingyun: "Go ahead, sister, but be careful and don't let the sun fragments burn you to death."

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Xie Lingyun nodded carefully: "I know."

She knew how vicious the Sun's True Fire was. Once her soul was ignited by the Sun's True Fire, even the gods could not save her.

Zhang Chen handed the fire-proof bead to Xie Lingyun, and Xie Lingyun held the fire-proof bead, looked at the meteorite in front of him, and walked forward with a determined expression.

Zhang Chen, holding the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, followed closely behind Xie Lingyun, blocking the branches of Jianmu from plundering his vitality.

When they were ten meters away from the meteorite, Xie Lingyun suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhang Chen: "I have something to tell you in advance. If I die in the burning of the sun's true fire, you go and tell my father to treat you as his own son. Treat you the same way he treats me. This is also a favor I owe you."

As he spoke, Xie Lingyun tore off a piece of his clothes, then took out the dagger from his waist and cut his finger, then quickly wrote a document on the clothes. After drying it with the help of the sun's flame, he handed the document to Zhang Chen: "This is a certificate, you still need to keep it carefully, and don't lose it."

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and stared blankly at the document that Xie Lingyun sent over. He knew too well how important this document was.

Xie Lingyun was really kind to him, and his efforts towards Xie Lingyun were not in vain.

"What are you standing there for? Take it!" Xie Lingyun rolled her eyes at Zhang Chen when she saw him in a daze.
